History check
GT1 = 180 cars, GT2 = 650, GT3 = ~180(?), GT4 = 700+(?), GT5 = ~1000
So an average of ~550 cars overall?
I think that's fairly achievable, if you count all of the new cars from GT5 (only let's hope), no premium/standard stuff, just lots of good cars.
But to be honest, most of my favourite cars are standard ones, so, would it be better to have all new cars that look great (as great at the premium ones do in GT5, maybe some a little better if possible for the PS4), or, double that, with mostly redone standard cars?
Don't know if there should be a whole bunch of number guesses of what you think/like, or what sorts you'd like.
I think honestly, I'd like all new cars, somewhere between 450-650 premiums, but I think the minimum we should expect (if they're all premiums) is 300, assuming also GT6 comes out in the next few years and is on the PS3 not the PS4.
I apologize for this, but I ONLY read the first post. I just want to express my opinion in the hopes others feel the same, and PD goes with it.
I have heard that Forza offers all of their 'premium/new' cars in the game, and then they have another disc that contains all of the vehicles from the past games. I would like this on GT6. If they do decide not to 'include' the standard models on the main GT6, I would like the ability to access them in game still, regardless of their quality. True, GT1 or GT2 or GT3 quality, I would not like. But, if we could keep the current standard quality, literally the 'standards,' I would be very pleased.
Imagine having the new car dealerships, and then three or four used car dealerships; By year, and maybe a few by country. I think it might be a cool alternative to Used Car dealerships by year, to have them by country. It would have to be set a bit different for countries that do not have more then 50 cars (all countries except US, Japan, Germany) but surely brilliant minds could do something with the idea.
As for the number in this post, I don't think 500 makes much sense. Using my simple mathematical skills, 5 to 6 should not be going down. 1 to 2 increase to over 360%. GT3 to 4 increased to over 380%. If PD were to continue this trend, it would increase to over 401% of its' current value. So over 1,000 to 401% would be over 4,010 cars, and this is rounding down and continuing mathematically the pattern set forth. It seems pretty obvious that GT6 will NOT have over 4,000 cars lol.
As much as I would enjoy redone models of what we have, I'd rather have new models and keep what we have. True, it is nice to have models and see the interior, or have a more crisp view, but when racing INSIDE of a car, I don't see the exterior. And when I watch replays, it still looks good. I use a 46" Sharp Quattron (four color LED), full HD on one PS3, and a plain 42" LCD, which is junk, and they both look good. Obviously there is a difference between the two, but standards look good either way. Yes, the premiums are amazing, but is it really worth it to everyone to lose the standards?
I am sure not everyone agrees with me, but I'd take the standards before the premiums any day of the week. Yes, I like Lambo and Rarri, but the Cien? The Nardo? The 2005 M5? BMW McLaren F1, Stratos, E Type, the Alfa's, so on. I don't see any reason we should have to lose these. And many people will say 'oh, but they can just re model the ones we love!'
Right. PD is going to remodel all the cars we all want, and not do the Miata's and Skylines...okay...
Plus, everyone who owns one of the real life models will fight tooth and nail to have their car in, as would I if any of them were in it.
I don't particularly like xbox, or Forza, but the competition should be breeding higher quality, and I hope PD uses this to see alternatives, and includes it. They included these standards in GT5, so clearly they see some purpose in not throwing them away. I just hope they have the same reasoning for GT6, and give us 1500+ vehicles in GT6. 250 Premiums, 750 standards (I don't know the real numbers, but we have over 1,000 now), plus some of the older models taken out of GT5 from the past games, in combination with new models, should give us that number.
I mean think of our DLC, the Golf and the Scirrocco. They are almost identical mechanically, they can just repeat this with stuff like Aston. They are not so different, their models. The Aston iQ, Toyota iQ, and the Scion iQ. There's three 'new' models. True, this would not be IDEAL by the lovers of Gran Turismo, but I would be pleased if we had 100-150 TOTALLY new models, turning out 400-500 vehicles. If they went with this to give 1500 vehicle options, with a more comprehensive A Spec, I would be very satisfied with GT6. And if we came close to 500 races on GT6, compared to what we have now, it would be a great time filler until the PS4 and GT7 come out, which Lord knows how long it will take.
All in all, no matter what happens, I will buy PS4, GT6, hopefully not in that order, and will play them. My biggest hope is that I can love and obsess over these two like I do over GT4, and PS3. I love you, GT5, but we just don't have the same passion me and 4 have.
Disclaimer: Most of this has been approximations, other than the calculations based off of the number in the first post, which were precise calculations.

. I hope they dont go that route.But I got a feeling they will.
